I wouldn't ever give Google a single penny. Instead, I pay for Nebula, allowing me to watch high quality videos and documentaries while supporting indie creators. And it's just $5/month.

I will probably put my money where my mouth is, and get a nebula subscription

[–] EpicVision@monero.town 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's definitely worth it. And it's better to help independent creators instead of giving money to Google or other shady big tech companies.

Well, I ended up doing it for a year. I'll see if I end up using it or not.

Not enough content on Nebula. I subscribed because of a couple YouRubers I follow, but there’s just not much there (at least that I watch).

These are some Nebula creators I like

TLDR News (and their other channels)
NileRed
PolyMatter
ColdFusion
TechAltar
Ali Abdaal
Thomas Frank
Wendover Productions
RealLifeLore
Climate Town
Half as Interesting
Real Engineering
BobbyBroccoli
EposVox
Not Just Bikes

I still occasionally use YouTube, but much less than before. I also enjoy Odysee and PeerTube. Grayjay is an amazing Android app to manage all these streaming platforms in one central place.

Thanks for the list! I actually got nebula because of RealLifeLore and Wendover. I’ve since subscribed to TLDR News and Real Engineering so I’ll have to give the other creators on your list a view.

I can give you some video recommendations for each channel I listed if you want to

[–] acceptable_pumpkin@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Just checked out Half as Interesting and realized it’s the same guy as Wendover. Recognized the voice immediately.

I’m interested. It’s a real shame they just paywall the entire app and don’t give you a chance to explore what’s there a little.
